Collaborator Role
Collaborators may contribute concrete details or corrections. The practitioner remains responsible for reviewing the map and using it in story development.
WH Context Map
WH Context Map is a collaborative situational information map for developing a Social Story. Practitioners use it with input from the audience or others to organize people, place, timing, actions, reasons, and expectations so the social situation can be represented accurately and clearly.

Unknowns And Disagreements
Unknown elements are marked unresolved rather than fabricated. Conflicting details remain visible for practitioner resolution.
Boundary
The tool organizes situational context. It does not create the final narrative, score the situation, diagnose, or track outcomes.
Are the WH sections configurable?
No. The supported sections are fixed: people, place, timing, actions, reasons, and expectations.
Can a participant complete the map directly?
Yes, where the surrounding workflow allows, a simple shared completion view can collect concrete details or corrections for practitioner review.
Does the result write the story?
No. The result provides organized context and a descriptive summary for drafting; it does not produce the final social narrative.
